PRE-SALE 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 1 // The Outaouais Cross-Country Ski Club is back! This 5-week Club is designed for beginner and intermediate cross-country skiers. Sessions last 1h30 and take place in the magnificent Parc de la Gatineau. They are devoted to teaching techniques in classic cross-country skiing (official technique of classic step) or skate skiing, depending on your choice of style. The aim is to learn, progress and have fun on your cross-country skis!
We'd like to make it clear: this is neither a training nor a long-distance session! The sessions focus on learning technical notions at the beginning of the session to build confidence and improve your glide. Afterwards, the group takes to the slopes to apply the notions that have been taught.
Monday evenings for 5 weeks: January 12, January 19, January 26, February 2 and February 9.
Arrive early so you have time to prepare and be ready to start the session at 6:30 pm.
6:30 pm - Session starts, ready to go - Warm-up
6:40 pm - Start on the slopes
8:00 pm - End of activity and après-ski beer
